Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. I like the Sony KV-34XBR800 a lot. It may have been the lighting in the store but I found the CRT set to be sharper and brighter than the Samsung DLP. I like it 'bright' for daytime viewing as my room has very large windows and it gets very bright in the house.

The Sony has four preset 'picture modes': Vivid, Standard, Movie, and Pro. Vivid is the brightest mode and Pro the darkest. I set it to Movie mode for watching DVD's in a dark room. I also picked up a Home Theater tune-up / set-up DVD and calibrated the Movie mode per the instructions and it looks great. The DVD also allows for adusting the speaker levels.

Since I couldn't buy a Plasma screen due to buzzing at high altitude and the high price, I already had my mind made up that I would buy a CRT. But I swear this is my last CRT! It's a beast! I hate how huge and heavy it is so I don't plan on moving it anytime soon.
